WORK IN PROGRESS is dedicated to building a community that supports the ongoing fight against white supremacy and for racial equity and liberation for all. as a majority female & asian team, it has been especially heartbreaking and devastating to grapple with this ongoing fight against anti-asian violence. we look to the future with the hope that you join us in difficult conversations about racism, educating, reflecting, holding those around us accountable, donating, and supporting. the fight does not start nor end here.
this page is our compilation of helpful information, resources, and support below that we will continue to update. may the victims rest in peace and power.
